It wasn't like a google link and it wasn't an embed. It was a full page, with my image copied across the full page, with copyright notice deleted from the image, and a *lengthy* introduction copied from my story, followed by a link to read more. That seemed a bit over-stepping the mark, but I could see how it could also be a win-win if I hadn't deleted the story on Vocal Media and didn't want my exclusive rights back! :-)

Anyway, they took it down and it wasn't a big deal. But obviously not great if you want to offer your work to a publisher. :-s
